Be it known that l, ANDREW Rosnxrrmr, a citizen ot the United States,and a residentol the city oit New York, borough of Manhattan, in thecounty and State oit New York, have invented a new and Improved Faucetlilater-iilixcr, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are:-to provide a device for mixing water oi2 dill'erent temperaturespreliminary to delivering the tempered water lo'r u eg and to provide anattachment of the character mentioned having a simpliiied and cheapenedconstruction.

Drawings-Figure 1 is a front elevation o1 a. mixer constructed andarranged in aceordance with the present invention, the same being shownas in service; Fig. 2 is a top plan view ol the same; d ig. 8 is a vertical cross section taken as on the line 3 3 in Fig. 1.

l)escr/zfptofn.-Tlie chief employment of a mixer constructed andarranged as herein described and as shown in the accompanying drawings,is to permit the dish-washer to mix hot and cold water received from therespective faucets with which sinks are provided, )rior to deliveringthe same to a dish pan or receptacle. lilith this object in view. twoclip plates S are Yfurnished. the ends' of the plates having formedtherein ovoid openings 5l. The'contracted ends of the openings 9 areturned away from the extensions 10 with which the plates 8 are provided.At the extremities oi the extensions 10 are Jornied pcrtointions 1,which are provided to receive the hooi; ends 12 ot a connecting spring13. The s1 ring 13 provides for an expansion of the plates 8 whenadjusting the mixer in service, and when the nozzles 1l. of 'faucetsextend through the openings 9, to be gripped by the Acontracted endsthereof.

The mixing trough 15 is suspended from the fixture above described, bymeans o'lf a hanger 1G. The hanger 1G is constructed from a single pieceoi metal to form a loop, the inner diameter or opening whereotl isshaped to the cylinder ot the coil et the spring 13. From the loop astrap 17 is twisted and is integral 'ith a bridge piece 18, the endswhereof are outturned for sol- Specification oi' Letters Patent.

Serial No. 95,436.

dering the bridge piece in service relation to the trough 15, as seenbest in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings. rThe bridge piece 1S is placed atthe center of the trough 15 to balance the saine. Disposed directlybeneath the bridge piece 18, and at 'the center of the trough 15, is aspout '20. The lower edge ot the spout Q0 is inturned to support aflange 21 for supporting a sieve Vil-hen water is to be drawn forwashing dishes, or Vtor any other purpose, the mixer is adjusteiil onthe nozzles 14- of the faucets bj the person using the same. rifheplates S are spread, and thc spring 121 extended until the broadportions oi the openings 9 are in register with and permit the passagethereoi et' said nozzles. The spring 18 draws inward the plates S withsutlicient force to grip the said nozzles within the contracted ends etthe openings 9. rThis operation is prete lably effected prior toinstalling the trough 15. Having adjusted the spring 18 and plates 8,the trough 15 is placed in position, the loop of the hanger 1G beingpassed over the body of the spring 13, when it will he found that theends ot' the trough 15 rest below and in line with the nozzles 14e, toreceive the water when permitted to pass therefrom.

rFhe water received in the trough 15 is delivered therefrom through thespout 20. lt is obvious that the operator may temper the water to suit,by admitting more or less oi' het or cold water to the trough rllhewater thus tempered is delivered by way ot the spout to the dish pan orother receptacle, 'the sieve operating to arrest the passage oi anydetritus which may be in the water when delivered by the faucets to thetrough 15.
